Who is supposed to bear the compensation regarding a worker who incurred an injury outside of work, which caused him to be absent from his work for a long time?


The worker who was injured outside of work and not during working hours, may still be recognized as a victim of a work injury in certain circumstances, if the prejudice was related to his job, or due to traffic hazards on his way from home, or from his place of accommodation, to his work, or from his workplace to home.

If there is no relation between the injury and the injured's job - his eligibility for (private) accident injury benefit will be examined, according to the rules.
